Dear Ron:
The scope this interior renovation includes modest alterations for the existing shell office space.
Based on the Indiana General Administrative Rules, a construction design release from the
State of Indiana Department of Homeland Security is not required for the following work per
Article 675 IAC 12-6-4 “Exemptions from design release requirement”. Specifically, the
following is noted:
1. Architectural: GAR 675 IA 12-6-4 (b) (5) D. Construction of less and 100 lineal feet of
wall and not part of an exit corridor system.
2. Electrical: GAR 675 IAC 12-6-4 (b) (3) D. Installation of branch circuits not exceeding
existing capacity.
3. Mechanical: GAR 675 IAC 12-6-4 (B) We are not adding any mechanical equipment,
rather modifying branch ductwork to a new ceiling grid configuration.
4. Fire protection (sprinkler): GAR 675 IAC 12-6-4 (b) (6) (i) We are altering an existing
system by dropping heads to a new ceiling grid, as originally planned by the base
construction.
5. Plumbing: GAR 675 IAC 12-6-4 (b) (2) (B) With the addition of only one (1) bar sink,
fewer than five drainage fixture units.
Notwithstanding the above, however, all work still is required to comply with the requirements of
the Indiana Building Code and City of Carmel. Further, applicable permits from the City of
Carmel for all work are still required. Please advise if you have any questions.
Best regards,
